Fire Truck Song

Today Abby brought in her book. The Fire Truck. This is a favorite of the children's. They engage in enthusiastic singing as you can hear!
I thought it a good idea to post up for everyone to learn, previously we have only accessed this through the internet (initially shared by a reliever) Enjoy Ally.

Thinking Outside the Square

This puzzle promotes 3dimensional thinking and planning. It is complex and challenging but for these boys with practice it has become a breeze. Well done Guys you are thinking about your thinking, communicating with clarity and working interdependently. WOW!!!! Ally

Practise makes Perfect!

Well as promised i received a pink hula hoop for Christmas. Thank you Troy. Unfortunately i did not have the opportunity to practise, so i have returned to kindergarten with no new hula hooping skills BUT.... a lot of our tamariki have been practising hard over the holidays, they are becoming very skilled, Sharrayah can even switch her bracelet from wrist to wrist as she hula's. Great work Ladies!!

Abby.

Just cruising............
First week back and we have had low numbers with a maximum of 10 children each day. It has been a lovely time for those 10 children to re-establish themselves and their relationships with teachers and each other. We are looking forward to seeing the rest of our tamariki as they return from their holidays. Welcome to our new whanau that have joined us this week. We are looking forward to getting to know you all as the term progresses. Please feel free to ask for any information you might need. We welcome Amanda to our teaching team. She has joined us in the afternoon session. Please make her feel welcome and introduce yourselves to her. Thank you. Ally
